Approved October 7, 2019 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />piece land, usually whatever was left over or unusable, but since those times the City has <br />done a better job on obtaining better land or getting cash from the developer to put in the <br />equipment or components of a park that can serve that community. He stated that because <br />that is what it used to be (the small left over land from the developer) they have to make <br />the best of what they have (these comments were made in response to a few residents <br />inquiring why the park is so small and why it was built in such a bad area/bad land). <br /> <br />DeGardner added to Huelman’s response to the residents by stating that if any resident <br />knows of any land acquisition for a park they could let the City know, typically it is a <br />difficult process for that. He stated he agreed this land (the land of Woods of Baldwin <br />Lake Park) would not have been his first pick if he had been in that position when this <br />development came to the City. Stated unfortunately this is what the City has to work <br />with. With the Lyngblomsten development coming in, this is the closest neighborhood <br />park to that development. If that development actually occurs there will be some <br />significant Park Dedication dollars that the City is going to get, so the thought is if we are <br />going to be getting the money, let’s make this Park more functional and user friendly. <br /> <br />DeGardner then went onto address a few of the comments/concerns residents had while <br />sharing their thoughts, concerns, and requests for the park. DeGardner shared that the <br />existing park equipment was installed in 1994. It should have been replaced many years <br />ago. Assuming that the Lyngblomsten development goes through and the Master Plan has <br />been made he anticipates that the first thing to be replaced would be park playground <br />equipment. DeGardner pointed out that this Preliminary Master Plan is to get resident <br />feedback and have it act like a guide and that is the purpose of tonight’s meeting. He <br />stated that they can’t accommodate or address everyone’s concerns but they can certainly <br />take a look at the concerns and see what is reasonable. The goal is to get a guide as to <br />what this park should be once the dollars start coming in rather than piece-mealing it <br />together. He understands there has been some concerns about the maintenance and the <br />pond and those type of things can certainly be looked at. When it comes to the pond, the <br />pond is a storm water retention pond. The City has hundreds of ponds they must maintain <br />and a lot of it is based on function, etc. The current condition and function of the pond <br />does not even come close to justify spending the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars <br />that it would cost to do a complete dredge. However, the inlets and outlet areas when you <br />have the over growth and the vegetation that is something we can put in our storm water <br />and maintenance budget so that it can be dealt with sooner than later. He also stated that <br />request to remove the dead trees and such is something that Public Works can look at <br />however, some people would argue that the dead trees should stay there to help with the <br />turtle habitat and so forth so there must be a balance. We will need to consult and work <br />with our Environmental Department to make sure that what the City is doing is <br />environmentally responsible and makes sense. <br /> <br />A resident asked if there would be lights at the park. DeGardner stated that they do not <br />typically light neiborhood parks. He said it is a huge cost and he heard someone mention <br />before that they would like lights to detour evening teen’s behavior at the park, however
